Stampin’ Up! Christmas Cards From Friends!

Posted on December 23, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We are still hanging out at home, waiting for our quarantine time to pass. I still have plenty to do to get ready for our family Christmas next week, but I'm waiting to wrap until after I'm no longer contagious.

I've received some pretty cards in the mail from friends and customers, so I decided to share some of them today and tomorrow with you. Most of these today have been created with retired Stampin' Up! products, but it shows how timeless and lasting Stampin' Up! is!

First, my friend Becky Anderson created this pretty card with vellum and retired silver glimmer paper. She attached the vellum over the stamped snowflakes with strategically placed glue dots under the "peace" and the jewels.

Norma Artman used Brightly Gleaming Specialty paper with the Christmas Gleaming Bundle (still available on the Year End Closeout List) The Brightly Gleaming Specialty paper and the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack are both discounted 50%!

Tina Biby combined retired designer series paper with the retiring Ornamental Envelopes Bundle of stamps and dies for her pretty creation. The Envelopes Dies are currently 40% off!

Finally for today, my friend Crystal Lopez enjoys playing with products from many different companies. She sent me this super awesome slim-line shaker card!

Hard to believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Very different around here this year, but I'm still thankful we are doing as well as we are and that there is light at the end of our tunnel!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday December 22nd!

Posted on December 22, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been MIA for awhile now due to COVID. I, my husband, and son all tested positive last week, and while our symptoms have been considered mild, this virus is no picnic. Very tired and gastrointestinal upset has been my main symptoms. I had a much better nights' sleep and things feel better today, so I'm hoping I'm on the mend. Our family Christmas has been postponed to New Year's Day; I decided to not try to push myself too hard right away after getting out of quarantine on December 26.

I have a few more swaps to share with you that I think you will like! All of these are also gift card holders too!

First, Jenna Roby created a cube card with the Menagerie Mix-Up Bundle:

The gift card can be added inside the top with glue dots.

Kelly Acheson used the In the Pines Bundle with Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper for her gift card holder:

An easy little pocket created for the gift card.

Gail Connelly created a masterpiece gift card holder with the Snow Wonder stamp set:

She created the pocket with a punch.

Karen Kurz created her gift card holder with the Tree Angle stamp set and Stitched Triangle Dies:

I love how she created a "forest" to tuck the gift card behind!

Finally, Carol Slack used Warm & Toasty with In the Pines to create her "pop-up" gift card holder:

The polar bear is so cute!

Most of these projects were created with stamps, dies, and accessories that are retiring from the Holiday Catalog. You can find the complete list here:

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday December 14th!

Posted on December 14, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Another busy weekend. I try to stay ahead as much as I can, but always something comes along that gets me off-track. Family always comes first, so that's why I've been blogging my Sunday Swap Days on Monday so much lately.

Today I have a fun collection of gift card holders to share with you!

First, Emily Tull created her gift card holder with Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper and the Moose Punch, which are both on the Year-End Closeout Retiring List!

Next, Laura Barto used the retiring Festive Post with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder and the Rectangle Postage Punch for her gift card holder. The Mossy Meadow 3/8" Diagonal Stripe Ribbon is 50% off on the Year-End Closeout Retiring List.

This gift card holder pulls out:

And then flips open!

Barb Dykhouse created her gift card holder with the Tag Buffet stamp set (retiring), Red Foil Sheets, Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders (retiring and 50% off), and Wonder of the Season Specialty Designer Paper (retiring and 50% 0ff)

It's a simple gift card:

Finally, Rhonda Bassler used the retiring Gnome for the Holidays with retiring-and-20% off 'Tis the Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. She used Hippo & Friends dies from the Annual Catalog to cut the layers.

It's easy to make a place for a gift card by simply scoring, folding, and securing to make a pocket!

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Nativity for the Year-End Closeout!

Posted on December 9, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Giant Year-End Closeout is in full swing, and yesterday morning Stampin' Up! surprised us with a Clearance Rack Refresh too!

Today I want to share with you a collection of cards created with the Peaceful Nativity Bundle. This bundle is on the Retiring List, which is also called the Year-End Closeout list:

First, I paired Peaceful Nativity with gold heat embossing and the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder. Get the details and supply list HERE.

I used the Starlight Technique for this Peaceful Nativity card HERE.

I shared this Peaceful Nativity card with a gold-embossed sentiment from For Unto Us HERE.

I used a gate-fold to mimic stable doors for this Peaceful Nativity creation. Get the details and dimensions HERE.

I made the whole stable with this Peaceful Nativity Diorama HERE.

I paired Peaceful Nativity with Brightly Gleaming Specialty paper and Copper Foil for this card you will find the details for HERE.

I used the Brightly Gleaming Specialty paper again while creating this bridge-fold Peaceful Nativity you can view HERE.

Finally, I have a tutorial for the Starlight Technique on the Peaceful Nativity blog post HERE.

You will find all of the dimensions and supply lists for each card on the corresponding blog post!

The really great news! The Nativity Dies are discounted 50%, ($14.00 instead of $28) so you will save more by ordering the Peaceful Nativity stamp set and Nativity Dies separately!
